We're talking here about getting into a slip so you can conveniently
get on and off a boat.
Given the circumstances...either anchor out or get a tender to help
you in.

The only butt saving would be if you dinghy sank on the way in from
anchoring and you couldn't swim.

On the other hand there's potential for damage to the boat, injury to
those helping you manhandle the boat in, and embarassment from totally
stuffing it up.

You are probably right Oz. However it is a tool for your toolbox
and you might find yourself in a situation, depending on the wind
strength, where this would be useful.
